They aren't using envelopes, they are using cardboard type flat mailers, as long as it's no thicker then 3/4" it doesn't matter if it a paper envelope or not.
Oh Beatriz. Losing a piece of gold would make me cry.
Tree is no where to be seen. I looked through the boxes that were around my counter. I'm going back to the bench. I don't want to waste time cleaning. :)
Gayle, on the off chance the ceiling is acoustic tiles...I once had a small sterling arrow stick into it after a flight, and not to be noticed for a couple of years.
I just evaluated all the work I've made in the past two weeks.....ummmm, I went a little nuts. I think I'm going to pull pieces that haven't sold off etsy for the gallery, and add a few new pieces....the rest will go on etsy. It will all work out.
Finding stuff that flew in the studio is incredibly frustrating. Weirdly, I have a small 6 x 4 scrap bin, in a big basement the landing spot ends up being that dumb bin most of the time.
I recovered so much "flying debris" from the area around the polisher when we cleaned up after the flood I am actaully ashamed of myself for being such a lousy studio keeper.
Sorry about the "first world " problems Kate , when it's happening at your house it's still a real problem.
My heart is breaking a young woman who performed in the same choirs as my daughter did all though high school and college was killed in Las Vegas, she still has deep family connections here even though she married and moved away.
My sister's daughter did what every mom would do to help their child's dream come true. She helped him find a good billet and flew home after the lockdown ended.
All caught up finally and have a little sales dust to share with you! September was as slow as molasses. I have high hopes for October.
I now have a wad of resin in my mouth where most of a tooth used to be. Two weeks until I can eat hard things again. I hope this is going to be the last crown for awhile!
I'm sorry about your washer Kate. That's one of my minor nightmares.
Too bad about the soap shop Erin but really, you're doing so well with your jewelry! I hope you find it liberating to be able to just focus on one shop now.
Gayle, I've also been there many times. My mud rug catches a lot of stuff but if the item hits concrete it tends to skitter off into no man's land. The polishing wheel can throw it even further!
Lol, CG. I don't have acoustic ceiling, but I had to look anyway. Not there, but, hey, I've looked everywhere else.
I decided to continue to clean and search. I got into the clean mode. Things in the studio had gotten out of hand. Feels good to do some cleaning.
Laura, I hate all dental work. Hope it's the last for you too. It's not only an inconvenience but the dental bills can be a bit much. Our insurance doesn't cover much of dental.
I find it interesting that people from the UK don't necessarily put much emphasis on teeth. Here everyone just about gets their teeth straightened and whitened. I wonder why that is?
Yipee! I found it. I had some old paintings on the other side of the room and I found it on top of one of them. So glad I found it, and I have a cleaner studio too.
Yup. This is an out-of-pocket cost since we don't have dental insurance. Thankfully it's come towards the end of the year when the store will be busier for this last quarter.
I've been lucky and never needed to have my teeth straightened. I've read that people do judge others on their teeth/smile, especially employers. I wonder if it is just a U.S. thing?
All this talk is making me itch to do a big studio clean up. But I have a fair coming up.
Dad is back in hospital. His eye started swelling up again so his is back on the stronger doses of antibiotics. The doctor also added an anti allergic medication, on the off chance it is allergic in nature. Cue Dad's question: "but now, if it gets better, how will we know which one did it?" Sorry, Dad, I don't particularly care at this moment! No controlled experiments, please.
Congrats Jen! That's just an unbelievable number! I was happy at 1000 but now I can't seem to get beyond 1083. Of course, it might help if I posted more regularly.
Jen that is an incredible accomplishment - Instagram is SO hard to grow on these days. I've been stuck at the same number for months and months thanks to all the new algorithm BS
My thing with IG is, what percent are buyers? If you have loads of followers great, if only .0001% buy is it worth your time? I guess if your sales are driven by IG just like FB and not Etsy you have to do it but it's so much more work than just listing and doing good SEO. I'm totally disillusioned with IG and really sick of the ads. I love that people like CG never bother with social media and still have a strong steady business. And Ello, what a joke that is. All those saying it was going to be better than or the next IG, that was a big no.
Right! It's like Deviant Art from way back. I'm just thankful I still sell here without having to think about what did I post on IG or FB today to keep my followers entertained. If it stops it stops. I'm not going to worry about it
sorry. I should have said. I'm totally OK. Was extremely blessed that it wasn't any worse. The poor guy that hit me seemed to be a bit in shock and his leg was bleeding.
